Halting the upgrade is one thing, introducing a security/privacy problem by starting a motion server on startup/install without telling the user is another.

Specifically in my case, I already had motion set up to record on a schedule in Gutsy. Suddenly after upgrade to Hardy, motion started capturing video frames. Good thing I wasn't picking my nose at the time! :)

But seriously, this sort of change is disruptive to existing users and is something that should be prompted as a priority if it's to stay as an installation feature (which incidentally, I think it shouldn't, motion invariably requires tweaking before being readily usable).
